Tour de France 2013: Mark Cavendish striving for success

Mark Cavendish, who will start the Tour de France this weekend wearing the
British champion's jersey, says he will "strive to continue to win as
much as possible".

The 28-year-old from the Isle of Man claimed a first British senior title on Sunday, and this weekend in Corsica he will hope to claim a 24th Tour stage win of his career – and with it the race leader's maillot jaune.

"I just aim to win, that's it, I'm a sprinter – there's not much more I can do. Physiologically there's not much more I can do," he said.

He is also eager to do well in the white British champion's jersey with red and blue bands that he won in Glasgow, while taking a look at the venue for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

"To represent my country and bring a jersey that represents the champion of that country to the Tour de France is a big honour, it's something that makes me want to do the jersey proud and do it justice," he said.
